RP: Needing Something Who: Alicia Spinnett, Octavius (Mal) MacGregor (brief appearance by Minerva Longbottom) Where: Olivander's Wand Shop When: August 11, 2024 Rating/Warnings: maybe some mild language Summary: Mal realizes that his secondary wand is unfixable Status: Complete
The hunt at the last full moon had been bloody, as Mal had predicted though he had not anticipated Isaac being injured. Blast the man for taking on Sterling himself. Mal hadn't told his friend off yet - not while Isaac was still mending but the worry that gnawed at his heart of his friend being killed still lingered and it made Mal angry and frustrated. But he hid it - checking in on Isaac who was very good naturedly taking Ace's healing and Mal's teasing.
It also hadn't helped Mal's mood that his secondary wand that he had obtained since he joined the Moonwatchers had been cracked and as much as he tried to mend it himself, the bloody thing was doomed to become kindling. He had been fond of that wand too - but thank goodness it hadn't been his primary wand, which he never took out on hunts with him in the event that it got damaged.
Bringing the damaged wand to Olivander's, Mal knew there would be questions and he decided to just give a likely but embarassing story of how the wand got damaged.
When he opened the door to the shop, a pretty young female greeted him with a smile.
"Is the wandmaker available?" he asked the girl.
"Of course. I'll go get her from the back," Minerva responded, giving the wizard another of her charming smiles since he was rather handsome, though old enough to be her grandfather. "Alicia, there's a customer wanting you," she told her employer, then returned to the front of the shop where she had been dusting.
"She'll be out momentarily...Mr.?"
"MacGregor," Mal replied gruffly, then smiled back at the girl. "But everyone just calls me Mal."
